A Pleasure Party Struck by a Squall,
Thrown Into the Water, and Twenty
Seven Lost.
New YORK, July 1.-THE sloop Mystery,
with a party Of excursionists ABOARD, was
capsized off Barren island last night. The
squall struck her and over she went, and
women and children were thrown into The
water. The tug boat G. F. Dean was not flu,
from the Mystery, and the captain dir. ctcd
her toward the unfortunate cxcurslonists.
When the Dean arrived u little boat manned
by q negro named Andrew Robinson, who had
rowcd out from Barren Island and licked III,
five women and two men, was struggling
against the strong tide. The Dean took this
load aboard and then drew near the Mystery,
which was almost submerged. There were
thirty or thirty-tive persons on the yatctt
when she went down, the greater number
being women and children. The
EXCITEMENT AND CONFUSION
was so great the Identification of the recovered
bodies was contradictory and uncertain .
Some of the survivors think twenty-sevcn
persons were drowned.
The best advices estimate the whole loss al
thirty.seven and the number of those saved
Only ten. The names of nineteen persons
who are known to have been lost are given,
but Others are missing and are undoubtedly
drowned. The survivors speak of the absent
as missing, but Cansarie boatmcn have nc
doubt all are lost.
About / o'clock this afternoon the sloo,
Herman and Veto arrived at Cansarie, having
in tow the unfortunate sloop Mystery. Eleven
bodies were found in the cabin, thirteen
bodies so far having been recovered.
